Reading Print/Out: 20 Years in Print is a bit like browsing the Internet while strolling through a crowded urban intersection, overhearing many conversations at once and witnessing the same (but different) red stop sign again, on the next corner

“Visitors are invited to take balloons that have floated to the ground.”

Now that’s a label you don’t typically see on the walls of a museum! Magi© Bullet (1992), by the Canadian artist’s group General Idea, is an installation of silver helium balloons that fills the ceiling of an exhibition space.

Ten-Minute Talks at Print Studio

Posted by Sarah Kennedy, Associate Educator, Public and Studio Programs Janelle Grace, Publicity Coordinator, Department of Communciations

As part of our exciting new interactive space Print Studio, we are offering a weekly series of short talks focusing on issues related to the medium of print and the sustainability of ideas within the context of modern and contemporary art. During these Ten-Minute Talks, a variety of MoMA staff—from conservators to librarians and archivists—as well as guest artists and educators, share their expertise, offering insight on a variety of topics and a special behind-the-scenes look at MoMA’s engagement with the medium of print and selected Print Studio projects.

Our first Ten-Minute Talk features Karl Buchberg, one of MoMA’s senior conservators, who introduces the Museum’s paper and print conservation lab. Watch the talk and get a tour of the space where he and his MoMA colleagues work each day and see, up close, featured work from the upcoming Print/Out exhibition.

Every week a new video will be posted on the Print Studio blog at MoMA.org/printstudio.
